Artist couple Sara Hayward and Paul Powis live and work in Worcestershire in the West of England. Sara was born here and returned here after studying at the prestigious Oxford University and the Royal College of Art. The artist has enjoyed an education that is considered all-encompassing. In particular, the period spent at the Ruskin School in Oxford represents a close combination of theory, practice and an exchange, with subject areas significant to contemporary culture. Sara Hayward has been working as an artist since her first degree. In addition to her artistic work, the painter loves to travel. The coasts of the British Isles and other European countries inspire Sara. However, it is also the small trips and journeys to the local Worcestershire area and visits to the beautiful gardens that inspire Sara Hayward to paint.
Sara Hayward prefers to paint landscapes, seascapes, still lifes and portraits. The artist takes various steps towards abstraction. The focus is on subjective color and vivid line work. Her forms and figures are recognizable, but appear abstracted. The palette is often described as exaggerated. The choice of colours is intense. The sea is bluer than nature would suggest and the sandy beach becomes a yellow band. The shadows show an intense colourfulness and give calm scenes a contrasting tension. Painting as a combination of what the eye perceives and the impressions the soul gathers is one of the basic features of modern painting. Artists who follow the path of abstract painting do not choose an objective mode of representation, but show their personal view of the world. The British painter Roger Hilton is considered a pioneer of abstract art in England. He was in close contact with the St Ives Group in Cornwall, which changed British painting with Terry Frost.
Sara Hayward's recent work is a series of portraits of women that are a symbol of the strength of women around the world. The female figure takes centre stage and celebrates the forms, of feminine characteristics. A few painterly brushstrokes outline the body and juxtapose it against an angular background. Sara has worked with a reduced palette for this series, which she herself describes as an expressive means of expression. The artist uses acrylic paints that allow her to apply multiple layers due to their quick drying. Sara Hayward uses stencils as a stylistic device from printmaking. Hayward often works on several paintings in parallel so that she succeeds in creating the paintings with the spontaneous impulse of the idea. The result is the series Elle, a series of pictures with great expressiveness. Sara Hayward exhibits together with her husband in numerous galleries and together they regularly open their doors. The couple allows interested visitors an insight into their working world. In addition, Sara Hayward is active as an illustrator and provides the templates for book covers and record covers.
